Pros
There aren't any. Nothing worth using is active.
Cons
This should be deleted by CNET for misreprepresentation. It is listed as "Free" but shoudl be "Free to try" because none of the features that compel one to download are activiated without purchasing the 'pro' version.
Summary
It sucks, don't waste your time. Why CNET would confirm something like this in the free category is beyond my comprehension.
very poor

Pros
small
Cons
it's very very poor of functions and commands
Summary
it doesn't really do anything more or better than windows

Pros
Cons
The one function that I wanted, this tool does not have: search. It simply calls the built-in Windows search tool, and that is what I am trying to avoid. I wanted an external search tool because the Windows tool does not meet my needs.
Summary
Simple, pretty quick, portable.

Pros
Portable app (no installation). Easy to use. Keyboard-oriented. Little overhead. Pretty quick in counting directory sizes, too (which is why I was seeking such a program).
Cons
I love keyboard oriented products, but for first-time use, it's hard to click on headings and get nothing in return (i.e., you must use a particular view rather than just click on "Size" or "Directories" to sort).
